Roofing Installation & Full Re-Roofs
Whether you’re replacing a roof that’s reached the end of its life, extending your home, or building new, the roof is one part of the project worth getting right the first time. Peak Performance Roofing carries out full roofing installations and re-roofs across Kilkenny, Laois, Carlow, Waterford and South Tipperary, with 10+ years’ experience in tiled and slate roofing.
When Roofing Work Is Worth Considering
- A roof that’s multiple decades old and showing widespread wear
- Repeated leaks or repairs in different areas of the same roof
- Extending or converting a property and needing new roof coverage
- Visible sagging, or timber that’s showing signs of damp or rot
- Wanting to move from an older wet-bedded verge to a modern dry verge system
What’s Involved in a Roofing Project
A roofing job covers more than just the visible tiles. Depending on the project, the work can include:
- Roof structure and battens — making sure the timber underneath is sound before anything goes on top.
- Underlay/felt — a waterproof membrane layer beneath the tiles or slates.
- Tiling or slating — laying the roof covering itself, tile by tile, course by course.
- Ridge and hip capping — finishing the roof’s apex and hips neatly and securely.
- Verge detailing — using dry verge systems or traditional mortar bedding along the roof edges.
- Flashing — around chimneys, valleys and abutments, to keep water out at junctions.
Repairs vs. Re-Roofing
Not every roofing issue means a full re-roof. If your roof has isolated damage on an otherwise sound structure, a roof repair may be all that’s needed. We’ll always give you an honest view of which makes more sense for your roof.
What to Expect
For any roofing project, we talk through the roof covering, ridge and verge finishing, and general approach before work begins, so there are no surprises. Once underway, the roof structure, felt, tiling and detailing are carried out in sequence, with the site kept tidy throughout.
Materials
We work with concrete and clay roof tiles and natural slate, along with the felt, battens, flashing and ridge/verge systems that go with them. The right material depends on your property, the existing roof (for a partial re-roof or extension to match), and your preferences.
Roof Maintenance
Once a new roof is in place, simple upkeep — clear gutters, the occasional check after severe weather, and prompt attention to anything that looks amiss — goes a long way toward protecting the investment. See gutter cleaning & repairs for more.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need a full re-roof or just a repair?
It comes down to the age and overall condition of the roof. Widespread wear or repeated issues across different areas usually points to re-roofing; isolated problems on an otherwise sound roof are usually a repair. We can assess this for you.
What roofing materials do you work with?
We work with concrete and clay tiles and natural slate, along with associated felt, flashing, ridge and verge systems.
Do you handle roofing for extensions and renovations?
Yes, including matching new roof coverage to an existing roof where needed.
Can you install a dry verge system on a new roof?
Yes — see our Dry Verge & Ridge Cappings page for more detail.
